Clinical trials and research projects, regardless of their size and complexity, can benefit from efficient trial management. At ECTU we have a trial management team comprised of trial managers, trial assistants and trial support officers who can assist at each and every stage of a study’s life cycle including set-up, planning, and implementation and reporting. Putting in place an appropriate level of management and support is crucial to the success of a research project.
